Show notes

In this special episode, we learn the religious and cultural importance behind the Bark Mitzvah. Despite its surface frivolity, these ceremonies have an almost two thousand year history: connecting the modern animal welfare movement with a long tradition of Jewish trauma and persecution. They celebrate not just one dog but all dogs - giving thanks to those animals that love us unconditionally.
